• Bulletin 181 - California Marine Fish Landings For 1987–1999 (PDF)
  Published: 2014
  Description: Provide basic records of amounts and values of marine resources taken by California's commercial fisheries, and summaries of catches by the passenger-carrying fishing industry. This report is the 38th in a series stemming from the first gathering of commercial fisheries landing data by the California Department of Fish and Game in 1916 and the subsequent first publication of those landings data for the years 1926 and 1927.

• Bulletin 179 - Contributions to the Biology of Central Valley Salmonids
  Published: 2001
  Description: The Salmonid Symposium was organized by an ad hoc committee of state and federal fishery biologists concerned with the management of Central Valley (CV) salmon and steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus spp.) populations and their habitats. It was held at Bodega Bay, California on October 22–24, 1997. Topics covered included research on various CV salmon and steelhead populations, ocean fishery management, history of upper Sacramento River hatchery operations, and steelhead management policy.
